As the title suggests, I would like to know a rough equivalent in power from an i5 4690k OC to 4.5ghz?

I have seen some cpu benchmarks, and I would like to have a reference. Thanks in advance.

Seeing as an i5 4690k is a i7 4790k with hyperthreading disabled and some of the cache lasered off, you're never going to get the hyperthreading or cache back. There isn't really a big difference between those two chips, just hyperthreading and cache.

The stock clocks are a bit different, but those don't matter because it's an unlocked chip and every 4690K will easily run at the 4790K's stock speeds. It seems from what I'm been seeing that they seem to have similar overclocking limits too. In the past some i5 chips have actually clocked higher than the equivalent i7 because of issues with hyperthreading.

that's a very subjective question... it would be the same in single thread performance as a 4790K OCed the same.

But for multithreaded performance it may be very low, it's even beaten by AMDs. Here's a chart of multithreaded performance, although they are stock speeds, they should give you an idea:

And again, it's very subjective, very few apps are optimized for multithread in the real world as Tom_Taplin said, Photoshop and video editting are some of them

a cpu core in an i5 is identical to the one in an i7 .
Neither can do more work per clock cycle than the other .
But some software wont utilize all the resources available . The i7 can hyperthread and use the core for two different tasks at the same time . This is only an advantage in cpu intense tasks like video encoding
